the clown rides his tiny trike out of the ringbehind the curtain where his life waitsa wife his partner eyes smiling as he rolls byshe at work repairing her costume" how'se the house, sounds happy""yep, we eat tonight""why the tears then my clowny""cause the marks can't know the whole story"

He seems to think the light beams on him, but this is probably a sign of his clownish misunderstanding, and simply reveals that he would prefer the shadows. The poise he appears to show is likewise a facade, covering his fears, but not very well. He has not a word to say, and in any case if he did, he would have to swallow it. But doing that is not part of his role, the sword swallower has taken the night off, and has gone away with the fire eater and the pretty lady who does handstands on a white horse.
